The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N781DL was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lockheed L-1011-385-1 (serial 193A1003, cancelled January 25, 1996). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
